If you are interested in how network connectivity can help the environment, visit Bill St. Arnaud's Green Broadband blog. To quote from the blog:

'"It is estimated that the ICT industry alone produces 10% of the world’s CO2 emissions which is equivalent to the carbon output of the entire aviation industry. The ICT industry and research community has a collective responsibility to help address this problem."
